ORDER REV0 KING CONSTRUCTION PERMITS 1:.

Construction Permit Nos. CPPR-81 and CPPR-82 authorized construction of the Midland Plant, Units 1 and 2, located just south of the City of Midland in Midland County, Michigan. The Construction Permits are held by ConsumersPowerCompany(CPC). Both Construction Pennits were issued on December 15, 1972. The latest construction completion dates in the Pennits, as amended, were December 1,1984 and July 1,1984, respectively.

CPC filed timely requests on May 24, 1984 and September 11, 1984, to extend the latest completion dates to December 1,1989 and July 1,1989, respectively.

II.

On July 1, 1986, CPC informed the Commission that it planned to convert Unit 1 at Midland to a gas-fired unit and to abandon Unit 2 in-place. It also stated that it is withdrawing its request to extend the Construction Permits' latest completion dates. By motion dated July 11, 1986,CPCrequestedtheAtomicSafetyandLicensingBoard(ASLB)to authorize withdrawal of its applications for licenses to operate Units 1 and 2 at Midland. The ASLB, in a Memorandum and Order dated September 26, 1986, ordered that the action on CPC's motion seeking authorization to Nk2%$

withdraw the operating license applications be deferred pending preparation by the staff and consideration by the ASLB of an environmental assessment.

The staff conducted an inspection of the Midland site on October 15 and 16, 1986, to determine, among other things, whether CPC's site stabilization plan, outlined in the October 2,1986, CPC letter, had been completed satisfactorily and to determine whether the site stabilization plan considered all critical site areas. The NRC staff verified that CPC had satisfactorily restored the site to an environmentally stable condition and that Units 1 and 2 are not capable of being operated as utilization facilities. An Environmental Assessment and Finding of No Significant Impact was published in the FEDERAL REGISTER on November 20,1986(51FR42024).

On December 17, 1986, the ASLB issued a Memorandum and Order granting the July 11, 1986, CPC motion. Pursuant to 10 CFR 51.32 the Commission has determined that the revocation of these Construction Permits will have no significant impact on the environment.

III.

A notice of withdrawal of the Midland Plant, Units 1 and 2, operating license applications is also being published in the FEDERAL REGISTER.

For the reasons set forth above, it is hereby ordered that Construction Permit Nos. CPPR-81 and CPPR-82 are revoked.

This Order is effective upon its date of issuance.

Dated at Bethesda, Maryland, this 18th day of December 1986.
